The Texas Liberators: Witness to the Holocaust tells the story of 25 U.S. soldiers who participated in the liberation of the concentration camps in Europe at the end of the Second World War. Upon entering the camps, the soldiers were not prepared for the terror, torture and depravity they discovered. Although they were hailed as liberators by the prisoners, what the soldiers found haunted many of them for the rest of their lives.
Developed by the Texas Holocaust, Genocide, and Antisemitism Advisory Commission (THGAAC) and Texas Tech University, the exhibit provides a context for World War II and a history of the Holocaust, as well as the Liberation. Read individual panels, each honoring a Texas Liberator featured in the project. The Texas Liberator Honor Roll, a record with the names of more than 500 Texas Liberators, is also included.
The mission of the Texas Holocaust, Genocide, and Antisemitism Advisory Commission (THGAAC) is to combat and confront hatred, prejudice, and indifference by educating all Texans about the Holocaust and other genocides in an effort to dismantle antisemitism and prevent such future atrocities.
Copies of the companion exhibit book, edited by Aliza S. Wong, are available for purchase at the Eisenhower Birthplace.
